Biography
Welcome, friend!
My name is Steve Nelson. I was born in July of 1955.
Married in 1976, Belinda and I have 2 children, both with their own families.
I live in Westland, Michigan - about 20 miles west of Detroit. (USA)
I am a U.S. Coast Guard licensed Master of Passenger and Towning vessels. I am also a Licensed Journeyman Plumber, heavy equipment operator, and truck driver.
My radio equipment includes a KENWOOD TS-2000, a Yaesu FT-857D, a SGC-2020, and a Yaesu VX-7R
I prefer to work low power, 100 watts or less, and 35 watts or less for digital modes. I have an AL-811H amplifier to output 800 watts if needed. My antennas are a Cushcraft tri-band yagi for 6m, 2m, and 70cm - a 52 foot G5RV for 10m to 40m - and Isotron antennas for 80m and 160m - through a MFJ Versa Tuner III. I operate mobile, some portable, and maritime mobile.
My preference is to QSL the old way - direct to you if possible. If you send me a card direct, I'll return one as soon as possible - No IRC, stamp, or envelope required.
I would be glad to hear from you at my e-mail of W8CSN@comcast.net
73, and Thanks for viewing my information.
